Great Britain Retro Film Festival 2016

Overview

Australia's favourite fuddy duddy film critic is back in town. Coming to New Farm Cinemas for the first time, the Great Britain Retro Film Festival will feature a selection of classic British films, each of which has been specifically chosen by the great David Stratton. So yeah, don't expect to see any handheld camerawork in these.

Running from May 14 to 29, this year's festival features 10 iconic films with not a single dud in sight. Highlights include Carol Reed's The Third Man and the young Maggie Smith-starring The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, as well A Matter of Life and Death by acclaimed directing duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Tick a few unseen titles of your watch list, or catch them for the umpteenth time. Even if you were normally on Team Margaret, you'll find plenty on the program to enjoy.
